Butch and Femme relationships

1979

Butch and femme

“What struck us, being politicos, and still does
really because it still happens and I can’t bear it, was the butch and
femme women’s relationships. There were butch women who’d beat up their
femme partners, copied directly from straight society which I found
really hard to come to terms with. The Women's Liberation Movement was a very open
thing and it wouldn’t occur to you to punch somebody when you’d had a
few drinks. Now I don’t know because I don’t go to gay clubs any more
but then it was more obvious”.
